Lean forward while sitting down. Apply heat or ice to the affected area. Sit on a doughnut-shaped pillow or wedge (V-shaped) cushion. Take over-the-counter pain relievers

Question

I'm really worried about my leg injury. A bike fell on it, and although the x-ray showed no bone injuries, the swelling and pain are still quite bad. The doctor thinks it might be a muscle crush or a blood clot under the skin. I've been using Chymoral BR, Osteonec SP, Thrombophobgel, and ice packs as prescribed. However, even after a few days, the swelling hasn't gone down, and it still hurts even if I just let it hang. He mentioned that if it doesn't get better, I might need a cut in the leg. Does this sound like the right approach? Could there be something else that's causing the swelling and pain to persist?

Question

I'm 25 and dealing with Pott's spine. I've been on AKT treatment for the past 7 months and recent MRIs show the pus is going down. I did an LFT test and noticed that my alkaline phosphatase is a bit high at 126, while the normal range is 46 to 116. Everything else looks okay. Should I be worried about this? What other medications can I take to help with the side effects of AKT? A friend of mine mentioned trying LIVRITE for 15 days and Bendon while continuing AKT. What do you think I should do?

Question

I've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
